Please, web app developers, consider how your users will upgrade. If your upgrade process is "remove the old one, unzip the new one", then it's not an upgrade process. It's an encouragement to never upgrade.
Does anybody on the fedi Laravel community knows Aaron Francis? It's really sad that his (awesome) fast-paginate package seems abandoned like this, maybe just a statement acknowledging he can't/doesn't want to maintain it anymore can make the community fork it to keep it maintained. This L11 support PR has been opened and unanswered for 2 months already.
It's great to see the #PHP ecosystem grow and prosper and I believe proper tool support and performance insights will only help when it comes to choosing the right tool for your job.
It's been a bit of a struggle getting everything to work for me, but thanks to our C specialists all the test scenarios I wrote along the way are now passing, including #Laravel#Octane
Today I collaborated with ondrey on a fix for #phpstan which improves a previous performance fix, which caused perf regressions in a #laravel edge-case.
The new fix allows a 2-3 seconds instead of 2-3 minutes analysis in all mentioned cases.
If you are using #Laravel#Herd and experiencing issues with Xdebug not recognizing the correct domain: Go to herd.conf and swap fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name; with fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $host;
I’ve just spent quite way too much time scratching my head today thinking ‘I swear doing request()->route('param') used to get me the full model. Why is it only getting me a string now?!
This article uses #React as it's main example, but it applies to #Laravel, #Tailwind, even #Drupal just a much. I say that as a recovering Drupal dev who used to use the standardization argument.
Greedy management is the reason we can't have nice things.
My first #PHP was 8.0, still in school, and I confess that I began learning it with the prejudice of it being a junky, terrible language everybody was making fun of. Fast forward ~1 year later, after finishing my internship, where I used full stack #Laravel mainly, and having discovered that not only it wasn't that bad, but really a pleasure to work with. Not perfect, but perfectly suitable for its use cases and, what's perfect anyway? So reading this has been a joy. :D https://developerjoy.co/blog/php-doesnt-suck-anymore
Pretty cool stuff. Though I'm also wondering if leaving the connection open and reusing it repeatedly might have downsides too, especially if I have need to connect to many different hosts?
Yesterday I learned that it's possible to change the path where #Laravel apps store uploaded files, caches, logs, etc thanks to the LARAVEL_STORAGE_PATH env var. This is super convenient when distributing apps as standalone binaries using FrankenPHP.
